Are you retard? Do you understand how the Bolshevik Party worked? Do you recognize the term "democratic centralism"? The party was NOT owned by Lenin and he wasn't his "king" to "designate" his "succesor". If Stalin and not Trotsky was elected to be the General secretary of the CPSU (b), was because his platform was better (Trotsky not even reached the 1% of the votes, always). People always talk about the so called "testament" of Lenin. The fact is that Lenin never let a testament. Some letters written by his secretary when he was sick and was angry with Stalin because a discussion he had with his wife about Lenin's healthcare, are not in any way a "testament" nor a mandatory for the party. Curious thing is that Krupskaya (Lenin's wife) was also an anti-trotskyst and support Stalin after the death of Lenin.
Also is this: "Trotsky has never yet held a firm opinion on any important question of Marxism. He always contrives to worm his way into the cracks of any given difference of opinion, and desert one side for the other. At the present moment he is in the company of the Bundists and the liquidators. And these gentlemen do not stand on ceremony where the Party is concerned."
(Lenin, Collected Works, Vol. 20 p. 448, 1914).
Thats only one of the many citations that can be extracted from Lenin's Works that denounce the true nature of the menshevik Trotsky.
There is a book, with 2 tomes, about the many times Lenin denounced Trotsky and his oportunistic platform and his menshevik afiliations (which btw, never ceased to be a menshevik). The book is called "Against the Trotskysm" and put together all the quotes and discusions between them, which can also be found in many works of Lenin by themselves. So no. Lenin is not an exeption.
